This month I am taking part in the A to Z Challenge 2017 – a post each day based on the letters of the alphabet and a theme. You can visit my A TO Z CHALLENGE 2017 page here to read the story.

As this challenge will take up a lot of my blogging time I may not get round to commenting on everyone’s posts, but I hope to find time to read all your stories as usual, and still be able to participate in Friday Fictioneers each week.

I had a friend who went to a spa — $70 per day—- to fast, but then came jome a month later ordered an x-large pizza and ate the whole thing. Her newly purged system couldn”t handle the OD of salt. Plus she wiped out her weight loss goal. Poor lady.

No. She came from a dysfunctional home and you could say she had a dysfunctional mind. But all that fasting weakened her bones and when she fell and broke her femur the doctor said, “Your bone has shattered like corn flakes.”

So funny and so true. It can be so difficult to let food go to waste when we’re eating together with the family. We know the consequences but we cram whatever is left in our mouths all the same! Great writing, Iain!
